All the photos on the left of the page were taken by Barry Finch
The early days of road steam preservation overlapped with some engines still working for a living.  Barry Finch published a number of well known photo albums of those years of the 1950s. We are very grateful that he has most kindly donated a number of excellent prints to the club showing ploughing engines at work showing John Patten and other operators.
